DRIVER SKILLS PLUS
Having a passion for driving is where we all start. Perhaps you’ve been driving for decades, or maybe you only just got your first car. The goal of Driving Skills Plus isn’t to start you from square one, but to analyze where you are on your driving journey, and help you grow from there.
This course is for drivers who are looking to get the most out of their car and expand on their existing skills.
This is a 2 hour private lesson where you’ll learn:
Weight transfer, what is it and how to use it
Understeer vs Oversteer - and how to induce/control them
Power curves and when to shift (torque vs speed)
Advanced braking, traction and turning skills
Uphill versus downhill cornering techniques

Your instructor will ask if there are specific areas you would like to focus on and the instruction will be tailored towards your needs.
